Announcements
- Flu Shot Clinic for Faculty and Staff
Flu shots will be given to faculty and staff November 2-18, weekdays only, from 10 am-4 pm in room 205 TASF (Technical and Administrative Service Facility). Due to a scheduling conflict no shots will be given on November 8. Limited parking is available. Occupational Medicine staff will give the immunizations, which are provided by ISU at no cost to employees. Flu Mist won't be offered this year. For information call 4-0874.
- New Enhancements on Grants.gov
The Grants.gov web site will unveil new features and enhancements on October 31. The site will be temporarily unavailable October 29-30 to complete the enhancements, preventing applicants from searching for grant opportunities or submitting applications during that period. The enhancements will enable the Grants.gov Find and Apply system to reside in a single hosting facility, database and architecture. This will present a single look and feel for Find and Apply, increase integration between the two functions and standardize the terminology. In addition, Fedgrants.gov will be shut down. All grant opportunities will be posted on Grants.gov.
- Doorstops in 368A Heady
Due to some difficulties with the doorstops attached to the double doors to room 368A Heady, the stops have been replaced with a new style--simply push to engage and pull to release.
- Daylight Saving Time Ends
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 am, Sunday, October 30. Set your clocks back one hour.
